Urban Legends are an apocryphal story involving incidents of the recent past, often including elements of humor and horror that spreads quickly and is popularly believed to be true. Urban legends have haunted me for years. I first saw that movie Urban Legends and remember not being able to sleep for multiple nights. The funny part about these legends is that mostly everyone believes one or two of them, they’ve gone world wide.

Ever since I was a young kid I believed the Urban Legend that if you ate a watermelon seed you would grow a watermelon in your stomach. Obviously, that’s not true. So have you ever licked an envelope and cut your tongue? Or gone to the tanning booth and thought to your self that this could possibly kill me? These are just a few of the many urban legends we know about today.

Another huge myth is that if you suck on a copper penny before you blow into a breathalyzer you will blow a negative number. So should you try it? Sure why not I mean if your that dumb enough to get caught drinking and driving why not try sucking on a penny. I’m just kidding you should never drink and drive and don’t put your tongue on a dirty penny because your tongue might fall off…

Wal-Mart on the other hand is an awesome place! Right? Well not so much according to a young woman, the flip flops she bought from there actually burned off her feet. There are actually real pictures of it to. But do you believe it or is it just a legend. You should also be careful when you head to your car at night. Most people now a days think that everything is generally safe and that if you walk with someone to your car you will be fine. Well what would you say if I told you someone was hiding under your car waiting for you. Yeah! Not so fun anymore. This legend involves a man who hides under your car and when you get close enough he slices your heals. You probably are not going for any more long walks in the park after that.

So do you believe in these legends or are they just a bunch of messed up people making up stories. In actuality no one truly knows but for your own sake take into consideration these legends and pass them on. Make the world more fun!!
